Taxol (paclitaxel) "Taxol has been tough, severe nausea, 3 types of nausea pills, nothing helped until the Sancuso patch. Bad taste in my mouth, food taste salty, soapy, water must be cold. I do feel sick for 3 days after treatment , but my oncologist gives me a a cocktail of pepcid, toradol etc on day 2 and that helps with recovery. Bit more body aches toward the 7th round. Fatigue and difficulty after taking daily walks."

Taxol (paclitaxel) "I had Taxol with Avastin for 6 cycles. Each cycle was once a week for 3 weeks, followed by 1 week off. A PET scan after the first 3 cycles showed significant success, but the PET scan at the end of the 6th cycle showed new growth, so we had to change medicines. I have stage IV metastatic breast cancer that is in the lymph nodes of the chest wall. It is triple negative, so harder to control."
